| [AnNahar] Kuwaiti security authorities have busted an international cell led by a Lebanese man that was sending air defense systems and funds to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group, Kuwait's interior ministry said Thursday. The cell's Lebanese chief, identified as Osama Mohammed Khayat, confessed that he raised funds and provided logistical support for the group, which has carried out deadly attacks in Leb and La Belle France in the past week, the ministry said. He acted as coordinator for the IS in Kuwait and arranged arms deals and FN6 portable air defense systems from Ukraine, which were shipped to IS in Syria through ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... The ministry did not provide details about the size of the arms deals. Besides the Lebanese criminal mastermind, authorities tossed in the slammer I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! three Syrians, an Egyptian and a Kuwaiti and said four others were outside Kuwait -- two Syrians and two Australians of Lebanese origin. Several suspected IS members and sympathizers were tried in the Gulf emirate for a suicide kaboom in June claimed by the group. A court sentenced seven men to death and tossed in the calaboose Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! eight others to between two and 15 years for assisting the Saudi bomber. An appeals court is to issue its verdict in the case on December 13. Earlier this month, Kuwait's lower court sentenced five men to 10 years in jail each for raising funds for IS. They were charged with raising about 400,000 Kuwaiti dinars ($1.3 million) and sending it to IS, which has seized control of large parts of Syria and Iraq and carried out attacks throughout the Middle East. Over the past year, Kuwaiti courts have issued several rulings against IS supporters. |
